This program is designed for the elementary learner. Participants will follow theme-based activities such as constructing animal and human models (with sports themes like soccer players). The program combines working models with software, allowing participants to add movements using easy “drag and drop” software.
The projects are team-based, encouraging each student to participate in the design, construction, and final execution of the robotic project.
